Ok paradise.net.nz used to be a fantastic ISP. Then telstraclear bought it,
and its steadily sucked more, almost monthly. The latest piece of madness is
their transparent proxy is stopping me from accessing a bunch of websites.
Most annoyingly lists.sourceforge.net is one of those. Its a ‘known fault’
which just means that it’ll get fixed only when enough people complain.
I really resent the degradation of the service, since ive had my cablemodem
account in this house, they have depeered from all the peering exchanges,
implemented (badly) transparent proxying and had intermittent connectivity
outages. But I still pay exactly the same every month .. for what is now a
vastly inferior product. Dickheads!
